KATIE Couric is one of America’s most famed TV journalist.
The talented news anchor suffered a devastating loss when her first husband tragically died of cancer, but Couric has found love once more with banker John Molner.
John Molner is the husband of legendary news anchor Katie Couric.
The pair wed on June 21, 2014 at her private home in the Hamptons.
John is described by his wife as a “finance guy”.
He attended the Trinity College and later got a Master’s in Business Administration from the University Of Chicago Booth School Of Business.
After a long career in banking, John retired in 2014, but he is now a Senior Advisor to BHH Capital Partners.
In 2017, John joined his wife on-screen when he co-starred in cooking show Full Plate with Katie & John.
The pair -founded Katie Couric Media, which “collaborates with some of the world’s biggest brands to create elevated, purpose-driven content.”
Katie said about her hubby: “It took me a long time [to marry again], because I loved being married and I love being married now,
“And I’m not a solitary person. I like company.
“And John is so funny. He’s just got this incredibly dry and wry sense of humor, and he doesn’t take himself too seriously. And he’s just fun to be around.”
Katie Couric was introduced to husband John by her friend Molly.
She told People: “In 2012 I was single again and I asked a friend of mine, Molly, whose husband is a trauma surgeon, if her husband knew any other doctors because I thought I’d like to go out with a doctor,
“And so she thought about it and she said, ‘We don’t really know a doctor, but we do know this banker named John Molner.’ And I said, ‘Does he have a pulse?’ ”
When they finally first met, Katie said: “He had me at hello.”
The couple got engaged in 2013.
Couric has no children with her new husband John.
But the news anchor has two daughters with her first husband, Jay Monahan, who she married in 1989.
They are Ellie, 28, a Yale graduate, and Carrie, 24, a Stanford student.
Their father Monahan tragically died in 1998 of colon cancer.
Ellie wrote in an essay published in HuffPost, “There are moments where I crumble at the thought of my father.”
Katie frequently pays tribute to her late husband. In 2019 she wrote: “Dear Jay…It’s June 10th 2019 and today would have been our 30th anniversary,
“I hope you would be proud of the way I’ve lived my life and know you’d be proud of your girls who have grown into incredible young women.”
She also mentioned her new husband in the touching caption: “I think you would like @johnmolner who honors your memory and knows there is room in my heart for you both.”
